Stunning piece of filmmaking
PostedJanuary 17, 2010

from New York City
George Falconer, played by Colin Firth, is a British professor in his early 50's who teaches in California in 1962. George's younger lover, Jim (Matthew Goode) was killed in a car accident eight months previously, and George's heart, in his own words, has been broken.
Colin Firth , always skilled in expressing emotion with facial expressions, uses those skills to full effect here. You simply can't take your eyes off him, particularly during the flashback scene where he learns of Jim's death on the telephone.
Julianne Moore plays Charley, his long-time friend and one-time casual lover. Their scene together - drinking, dancing, cavorting - is splendid!
This may very well be the best film (for me) of 2009.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
